HW POLL

It may seem like Taylor Swift has had a pretty impressive year every year since she hit it big, but 2012 was special. She released her fourth album Red, which broke major record sales, she matured with her fashion choices, she dated Harry Styles... oh, and she won Grammys! And that’s just her 22nd year in a nutshell.

Today Taylor celebrates her 23rd birthday and we’d bet money that it’s going to be just as good –- or better -– a year in the 12 months to come. Until then, here are Taylor’s 23 best moments in 2012!

1. Won Two Grammys

She kicked the year off by having her single Mean win Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards.

2. Released Second Fragrance

Riding the success of her first fragrance Wonderstuck, she released line number two, Enchanted.

3. Stayed Safe & Sound

She recorded Safe & Sound with The Civil Wars for The Hunger Games soundtrack, showing a more folk-side to her.

4. Got Punk’d By the Biebs

Kicking off the reboot of MTV's Punk'd, Justin Bieber pulled the ultimate prank of Taylor, having her almost in tears.

5. Got Animated For The Lorax

She played the voice of Audrey in Dr. Seuss' The Lorax alongside Zac Efron.
